Candidate

Great recruitment specialist who over the course of a few years approached me on a few roles however respected my boundaries and was in no way pushy when I declined them. When they had a role that matched my requirements they supported me through the whole process, eventually succeeding in placing me in that role. I would highly recommend Alexander James Recruiting to anyone looking to change roles or for companies looking for support in finding the right candidate for their business.

Alex has helped me a lot during this uncertain time. After being made redundant Alex and I spoke a lot on the phone. He found the perfect company to fit my skills and career desires. I couldn’t have done it with out him. I strongly recommend Alex as a skilled recruiter with contacts that can help you progress your career going forward. As a former recruiter myself I find Alex a rare breed as far as the constant contact and chats we had!! I can’t thank him enough

In all my years of using recruiters, Rob by far has been absolutely one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with. Always on the phone, always there with support, from beginning to end. Rob made the whole process of working with him feel like I was getting a unique personal service. I can’t speak anymore highly of the service received from Rob. If I ever need a recruiter again Rob will be one of the first on my list without a second thought. He understands his clients requirements from both ends of the industry and goes above and beyond!
